So the survey came in on the 205 tournament I am planning to buy this Saturday. Two things came up.
1. The gauges are not working properly. The hour meter is not showing properly, the tach is off, trim measurement is off, fuel gage is not working, etc.
The boat has the yamaha 2004 multifunction speedometer and tach.
2. The GPS could not "find" where the boat was.
The GPS is a garmin and a 2004 model year.
The boat is in great shape, and I don't know what to do. I need to approach the owner on this, but I don't want to scare him away.
How do I approach this? New gauges are $1000 on yamaha's website, could they be fried? Could the GPS be at the end of it's life? A new one is $600
The surveyor said it could be a loose ground.
My thought is to have the seller fix it, but what if he says no? What price is this stuff worth?
Comments Please!
